URANUS (Non stop rewinder)
• General Presentation
The SMAG URANUS is a two spindle semi automatic turret rewinder which can be installed in line with a wide range of converting and printing presses with a very simple electrical interface and no mechanical connections.
The concept of this machine is to answer to the growing demand on the market for a simple, easy handling, easy carrying, reliable and economical non- stop rewinder
The Uranus is available in two web width : 350 mm or 420 mm.
• Functions
The process is the following :
- Loading of the carton cores by the press operator onto the pneumatical mandrels (The Uranus is delivered in standard with 76 mm mandrels but can be equipped as options of all sizes from 40 mm to 76 mm).
- The cores are then glued automatically with a « Nordson » hot melt gluing unit.
- A pre-selection is entered into the touch screen of the Uranus (length or number of labels), and then when the target is reached, the web is cut and is automatically transfered to a new pre-glued core.
- The finished rolls are automatically ejected onto the loading arm for easy removal.
A new option is now available for turning the web and slitting before the Uranus. The great advantage of this option is to have the slitting unit (slitting cassette concept as on the C4R+) very close of the rewinding section which is giving the opportunity to rewind on the Uranus up to 6 strips (For further information go to the new products section).
• Advantages
- Easy to handle and set up.
- A mobile unit easily connected to any converting or printing press.
- Turn bar and slitting section concept.
- Possibility to adjust to different web tensions.
